Double Bass Shen Owner's Club

[Skabasskid]

Do we have a Shen club yet? A search said no. If not, I'm founding one now.

Mods, I wasn't sure where clubs go, so please move this thread accordingly.

But, here we go! Second post will be a list of members/numbers, as is the norm. and here's some pictures of my baby:

Sorry for the obnoxious dampits, i got her a few months ago when I didn't know as much as I do now. haha.

NOTE: All members must post pictures if they want a number. =]

But anyways, I digress. THE SHEN OWNER'S CLUB IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

Oh yeah, just a 4 string. I had this bass in 2006, long before they started making 5ers if I am not mistaken.

Just Picked up an SB80 from the student string shop in Fairport N.Y. last semester.

So far so good--> possibly looking at a SB150 in the future

Yes it is! I don't have much experience with Pickups for Upright, however I have no complaints with this one.

I wish I could join. I rented a SB 150 for three months and just loved it. Can't swing two basses right now, but if/when that happens, I would buy a Shen.

For now, I'll just have to be satisfied to look over the fence at the cool kids...

Really? After all that careful shopping and your "Hungarian experience"?

Count me in! I have a 7/8 Willow Flatback. It's an older one from about 2002. I will post some better pics soon.
